Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. Territory Of Light by Yuko Tsushima explores desire, isolation, abandonment and transformation.
What We Say: “From one of Japan’s most prominent contemporary authors, Territory Of Light is a story of loss and rebirth, following a young woman who starts a new life in a light-filled Tokyo apartment after her husband leaves her, and struggles to look after her two-year-old daughter alone” – Olivia McCrea-Hedley
What They Say: “Tsushima evades any label, her fiction transcends gender to focus on the existential loneliness that is at the heart of humanity“ – Kris Kosaka, Japan Times
Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones and Barnes & Noble
